The VTB hosts 20 distinct models, 8 of which were recently developed during 2022 and will be discussed in more detail here. This article provides an overview of the various models hosted and their capabilities. Part of the intent of the VTB is to showcase a ‘block’ style approach to modeling and simulation: if a capability is not showcased for a specific reactor type, it could, in theory, be easily ported/replicated from another. The breadth of advanced reactor types considered is representative of the large variety of concepts being proposed for demonstration.
